- A tree fell on this old truck and crushed the top of the cab. Let's see if we can straighten it back out and get a windshield in it.

The story about that old dump truck and how you have it because it's the first engine you rebuilt is absolutely awesome!
Hey dude! I’m setting here laughing my rear end off ! I’m a retired millwright and I know all about the kind of day you’re having. Just too funny! You are the best show I’ve seen yet.
Plus having to deal with oppressive heat and 1000 % humidity
@@edwardmulder3777 i know too well about that, here in central florida. I got sick because of how hot it id
Poor guy😢, “ Murphy’s law “ fell on him
When you made that short I thought to my self “Damn, that sucks” I’m glad to see that you’re going to fix the old beast up again. Those were tough old trucks.
Backfires can damage the power valve inside the carburetor. I don't know if that would lead to the power loss you're describing but it may be a start. Btw, There's not nearly enough old Dodge pickups on the road. Glad you're giving this one a shot.
I really feel for you fighting the chainsaw. There were a few butt puckering moments with the tree to say the least. Love that model Doge. Has always Liked,shared. All my best.
Thought better than I did a lot better than it was
I totally enjoyed this episode… I was right there, through all the hunts and grunts!
I love that you’re real… and humorous throughout the tasks at hand!
Stay safe, hydrated and cool out there!
I agree David!
Great video! I love the way you work to get the old things serviceable and not just started. Keep it up.
It's always good to watch someone else hot and sweaty in 100% humidity 😂 I worked my share of hot and humid days in a damn near kills me so my heart goes out to you Chad. I've also thrown my share of aggravating chainsaws 😂 keep up the good work and I look forward to your next video 👍✌️🇺🇲
Nice work Chad. I'm glad you could get the cab mostly pushed back out. Yeah, those metal non-removable headliners are difficult to work around. Take care 🙂👍
What's funny is this truck reminds me of your channel name because it is definitely a hodge podge dodge!
@@ThisNThatGarage lol!! That's true! 😂
@@ThisNThatGarage had a chainsaw same.. service guy said, use all the fuel up. use new fuel mix everytime. i suffered with it for yrs, nearly threw it..
@@ThisNThatGarage im in aus.. yrs ago, i bought a ford escort mk 2, from the wreckers, it was between 2 cars, 1 on the roof. it was a shell. escort rally pack mk2. original paint. i pushed out the roof, std w/screen, re fitted all the std rally bits, reg it, & sold it..1.5 yrs later. ive imported 3 cars from u.s. cos we have sht.. love your vids..
Crikey ! When I was fortunate to live in PA for a few years I thought 100 % humidity was bad ! But 1400 % humidity?
Tough man !
Thumbs up for the vid !
Loved the video. Your perseverance is admiral. Thanks for letting me watch you work.
Bubba when I was in my 50s and still working in the tire /Auto shop , we did undercar work I had knee problems so I went and found a good set of kneepads without the plastic and they worked well , I just could not stand ant weight on my knee and the pads really helped !
Love your videos . You win the Golden Screwdriver award for taking that winch apart.
Just have to say that I love each video you put out. Entertaining and glad that I’ve stumble upon your channel. Your sense of humor is awesome!
👍
Whew that first few minutes was tense! Glad you didn't get hurt there.
Well ill be dipped ur the happiest mechanic ive ever seen ever especially when weather is hot ur the opposite feller ever don’t understand… how calm n kool n colective u are…ive been around a million mechanics… ur one n a billion… ur top billing…🤠👈🏾
Now, I'm surprised to say this myself, but I wouldn't be mad to see you get this thing running and driving and turn it into a "topless" option model.
The thought crossed my mind.
I feel your pain. I’m terrible with small engines…and not much better with the big ones! Great video. I can’t want to see the old Mopar get some love.
I'm old enough to remember that ❗ if you want your dash lights to brighten ❗❗❗❗😂. The old school light knob turn it to the right or left it will brighten up 👍👍👍👍❗
Actually this was the BEST and most interesting show yet!
Another great video full of humor and old school “ get r done “. Awesome.
You got the patience of Job! I’d have thrown that saw right through what’s left of that windshield!!! Lol
Love the old dodges. More '72-93 content, please!
The yellow chainsaw is burning bar oil...the automatic oiler pump has a gasket that leaks, letting bar oil flow right into the crankcase
It's not an automatic oiler and unless the case is cracked bar oil aint getting in the crankcase. The fuel line was melted and has most likely stopped up the carb. Look for a video on it soon.
Your tenacity towards everything "This N That Garage" is very contagious ! I like it alot ! You got your fingers in a lot of different pies Mr.
Is there anything out there that intimidates you as far as automotive repair and the like? You's a smart feller not a fart smeller !
Intimidates me? Not really but there are a lot of things I just hate doing.
After watching many of your videos and cracking up at your humor and wry comments I just gotta tell you you are the Tennessee Larry the Cable Guy. Great wit and quick on your feet. Way to go.
I have been on sleeperdude but you intrigue me you got a lot in common.i love watching both of you.
That spider is a cellar spider. It shakes the web to scare off predators. We have them in Europe too.
I was about wore out just watching you, brother!
I love how you'll always be like this won't work but then like 30 seconds later you'll be like we'll make it work wether it's supposed to or not. Cause this thing ain't gonna beat me! You sir have one of the best automotive channels on you tube. I even tell other you tube
Preshate it.
Of all the stuff u show us how to do, what fascinated me the most is your ability to asnu say "trace wires " i can make an old motor run and build anything. What i wont attempt and cannot do is "trace wires"
This poor guy needs a chainsaw sponsor! Great job.
You are the Man Chad! Give it the “Good Ole Boys” try! You will have Sucess!💪💪💪💪
I have a bad tool depository (called a pond) It has an untold number of bad tools in it. Rachets broken wrenches or the ones that slip off a bolt head. That chainsaw would be in there if I could throw it that far.
Yep when that tree moved in the bucket you looked like you were ready to unass the AO ,
Your a man after my own heart feller ,love the vids. UK
Have you flip the toggle switch under the dash to see if it's for the cargo light above the non slidin window, thought that chainsaw was takin a trip to Mexico when you shut it down, n8ce restraint lol
Cargo light is a different switch and it works.
I agree there were some pucker factors during your video I certainly had some watching. I just started here it’s been entertaining. Thanks.
Welcome aboard! Preshate it. 👍
with the chain saw, I feel your pain ☹
Had me clinching when that wheel got hung up.
11:30-12:00 you were making me nervous, all I thought about if that tree falls towards you it’s over
For the amount of time I need my chainsaw I gave up on mixing gas n oil. The engineered fuel works better. Never gets stale. Burns clean and higher octane. Glad to see you didn't get crushed. Trees are heavier than you think.
I just started watching this channel and it's like watching a real live version of the red green show, I love it, you sir have a new subscriber
Preshate it.
That saw sounds exactly like mine when it’s running out of fuel. Also. It’s best to let older one sit and idle for a good minute before cutting. Helps with the big down when throttling
Epic fight with that chainsaw and that monster of a branch, sir!
Well, your lack of expletives with that chain saw is highly commendable.
Words were said, I just don't see the need in putting them in a video that women or kids might watch.
You're a working fool...you remind me of my dad who could get anything running
love your termination
You need a high powered magnet on a string for dropped screws, nuts and bolts.
Use the hydrologic Jack from a cherry picker with wood blocks one on the floor and and one on top and jack it up I done it many times
I don't know what a hydrologic jack is. 🤣😜
Love watching your videos. My husband is /was an engineer and shouts at you through the tv lol , you are really funny and your patience is brilliant.
Well tell him to stop! It scares me when he yells and I jump every dang time!
@@ThisNThatGarage lol he said sorry chad, he,ll whisper in future brother 🤫
@@septme9618 And why is he hollering at me??? 🤷♂️
@@ThisNThatGarage lol he just trying to help sometimes wen u seem a bit stuck, we love your videos, Hope u keep making them for a long time,
@@septme9618 Just as long as he ain't one of these knowitalls I've got running around here we'll be ok. 👍
You’re one bad son of a gun yourself old mate.
I’m looking forward to seeing your channel reach 100k subs.
Your channel is my favourite after Mortske Repairs. All the best from Australia
Love the Long tractor. Back in the mid 70's, I worked in tobacco and cotton in eastern North Carolina and the farmer I worked for had one. Those tractors were made in Tarboro NC by a guy maned Bill Long.
That was a hell of a cab-straightenin', chain saw-reparin', tree-cuttin, gauge-fixin', gas-drainin', tree-cuttin' video my friend! Kind of a potpourri if you will? Pretty sketchy getting that truck out but you got er done! Looking forward to part 2!
The "relay" that you was going to cross the numbers on, is a Ford style starter solenoid.
Take it to a part store, they can match one up for you.
When I was a kid dad had pioneers. Good saws. Then he bought a Lombard and it cut good but had to tighten just about every bolt on it every fill up. It just shook like crazy. Switched to stihl in the mid 80s. Now my boy and I run husqvarna. They are cuttin fools! Love you vids. Always look forward to them!
I had one of those saw to had tighten every bolts on it every time I cut down a tree
Husqvarna love! Last year I bought a 562XP. Love that saw, she's a ripper.
U have the patience of a Saint. I don't make videos because this Is the way most of my days go. Actually this was quite entertaining. Maybe I will make some videos. Lol
Lovely back yard wisgph we had! One,,,ps thatvtrucknreally want to be on the road!
From watching this i can relate, all ive ever bought was stuff that needs worked on. And i felt bad for u fighting that yeller Mac saw, me i would of been going the next day retrieving it from that timber behind you. I like the ol Dodge looks like something i d own to cut trees with. Keep at it, things will come around.
That E85 gas sucks on small engines like weed eaters and chain saws ! I started using the 91 octane and they run well on it and use that stabil fuel additive and it helps als
Never park something you care about under a tree...unless you have full-coverage insurance. Make sure that gasket fence is straight before you put the replacement glass in...lol.
You sound like me when I’m describing the weather! Thanks for another video
Between your pants ripping and the glass showering on your head, I was dying laughing
Another great vid. I love that ole king cab dodge. Dad had a 74 and then a 76 power wagon brand new. That truck would make an awesome 12v cummins swap.
Take your gas cap off it might drain faster. You might have to cut the inside roof panel & bend it down so you can jack the outer roof up and weld the cut back up
Well it looks like your luck runs like mine….not too good! Glad to see you didn’t give up on it. Chainsaws were invented by Satan!!!😂
Amazon sells the old style spouts to replace the shitty new ones. Bought some last summer. Best 20.00 ever spent! Came as a 3 pack
Love the channel and love your content! You work on everything and I learn a lot, so I thought I may share some tips. I worked for a tree service and when handling a job like that pull the tractor or a truck, something heavier than the limb lol. Rope off the fallen limb, not lift off to remove but to clear obstacle and support weight. Rope off with limbs equal or bigger. Before dropping to the ground if you want to clear limbs support limbs will kill you if not dealt with trees cannot be predicted to 100%, so please take caution. We would go around and kick limbs and cut into sections to control fall to the ground. Just some tips I know your no beginner just throwing in my two cents again love the channel!
Lol I read "1 month ago" instead of "1 minute ago" and thought to myself "how the heck did I miss one of his vids!
I love this guy. Hilarious. Im rolling on the floor laughing. Get this man a new chain saw. Just not a poulan
That’s great McCulloch chainsaw 10-10 it’s running out of Gas either your fuel filter in the gas tank is bad or your diaphragm in the carburetor easy repair job it’s a Tillison carburetor I have many McCulloch love them
Some days you're the windshield, some days you're the bug. That was a bugger... Glad you got through it unscathed, pal. (Everybody that I know who use chainsaws much swear by Stihl. Expensive, even used, but worth it)... 👍
One of my saws did exactly like yours doing. In the end it was the sparkplug holder not really had a good connection to the sparkplug wire.
Look at the sparkplug wire all the way.
fighting that chainsaw 🤣😂 i seen myself more times than I care to remember
I don't know which is worse, the saw or the truck!
Your luck is as good as mine.every time I go to do something I seem to get in gaters.
lol.. this channel gets better and better every time theres a new vid ... your doin a fine job .. never change a thing !!!! P.S> nobody understands dodge wiring ..lol
I'm a Chevy guy myself, but a couple years ago my nephew bought a Dodge and my brother and him worked on it constantly and we're never able to get the electrical sorted out. Before he ever got it running, he gave up and it got sold!! Last year I made the mistake of buying a 2005 Dodge K3500 Cummins. I drove it home but have never been able to get it on the road due to electrical gremlins!!!
@@floridagunrat1625 lol i hear ya
I live in the stinking city, where you live, to me that is Paradise, with that open field across the street from your home, just great and nice and quiet
You did a fine job putting the roof of the truck where it belongs, Yahoooo!! but chainsaws Welllll . THERE like that with me !!!!!
Great video. You had my wife sitting on the edge of her seat! She even jumped, about the same time you were about to jump off the tractor. We live in Tennessee and can sympathize with you on the heat and HUMIDITY! It is aweful.
I'm moving to Alaska!
@@ThisNThatGarage My wife said, Oh cool! Lol. What are you going to do with the Chevy Trucks?
It been 102-109 down here in Dallas. Good job 👍🇺🇸
listen to that old McCulloch. you have a great collection of saws.
Great revival, glad to see somebody manual swapped it. #SaveTheManuals. I subscribed
That was hard to watch you struggle I wanted to jump in and help
great episode - keep up the good content !
When you are trying to reshape any metal that has been stretched opposite of the original contour....
You need to stretch past that line/ past the original shape. It will recoil on you.
In other words... over stretch it in the opposite direction. Every time you lifted the roofline, you stopped just when it lifted to the height of the rest of the roof. You gotta keep going so when it is released, it will only drop down to the original height.
Over stretch to reshape.
That smoke blowing chainsaw is awesome haha, even though im sure it shouldnt be that smokey
About to play a drinking game... whenever you say here or there.. sip... yoo imma bout to get messd up!!! haha love ya dude!!!
Sorry about the tree!! But awesome video, and I know you'll fix it up fine.
Those chains are cheap as chips, great video .
My Mom, went through a windshield before and her parents had to pick glass out of her face for 2 weeks
That saw smokes just a little bit lol, thought the woods was on fire lol!
Smoke? I didn't see no smoke!
Well, I'm only 44 seconds into this video. Sadly, yesterday morning (Sunday June 30, 2024) around 10 AM. The wife and I heard a very loud noise from behind the house, Which is where we park our truck. A limb about the size of the one shown that's touching the truck in this video broke off a pin oak that back there and fell about 20-ish feet onto the passenger side of the truck. No wind, no rain, nothing. Just a bright sunny day. It has a brank about the size of a mans arm through the windshield, through the dash, and to the floor. It's a three door cab, 97 f-150. It crushed the roof above the pass front and pass rear door, obviously broke those windows.
I pray there are some tricks and tips in this and the other videos you've published that at least give me some hope on fixing this. I was a mechanic for 30+ years. I am now 100% disabled and on disability, which I HATE. Yes, the wife works. But given the state of the economy, we're doing everything possible just to keep out heads above water. To the point I'm skipping medical procedures, Skipping meds that I'm supposed to be on, and even skipping meals. No, we don't have full coverage on the truck and made the decision more than a year ago to stop paying our homeowners insurance, I own the house and land outright. So again, I hope there's information that I can apply to the situation we have here.
More importantly, Thank You Sir for posting this. It's at least given given me a little hope this can be fixed. I need all the hope I can get atm. 😮💨😩😞
Oh and no worries about me blaming you for anything stupid I might do. I'm not that sort of fella. My actions are my fault, no one else's!!
7:59 - 8:10 Me, anytime I ever try to use my chainsaw.
Addendum: Actually entire video up through about 16:15 rings eerily familiar. At least I’m glad to know I’m not the only one. Lol.
Glad you avoided getting smashed.
Tks Fer the very entertaining vid, really enjoyed it, plus u got a lot done
Well they're old boy I believe you covered all most of this and that I got an old Dodge truck exactly like that it's a 74 though wiring is a disaster dash lights don't work dash lights will get bright when you put your headlight switch back in and don't you dare throw that McCullough chainsaw way put straight gas in it run it for a little bit it'll clean it right out and then put some mixed gas back in it and as far as your Dodge truck smoking this is going to sound funny rev it up about 2500 RPMs and hold it there and take white minute Rice about a half a handful and slowly dribble it down the carburetor dry it will polish the inside of the motor and blow all your valve seats clean everything right after exhaust it works wonders can't wait for the next one
At this point I am asking myself does anything I own run? I'm going in the house for a beer.
Ha! Seen some sketchy stuff but I think you win!
You are a Amazing man. You make me look entirely worthless LOL. Not really. I'm a dissabled Vetren. An I get alot of things done on hobbies in my garage an yard. Same as you. Your a Animal!!!
Preshate it and preshate your service sir. 👍
I had a tree fall on my vw beetle windscreen whilst driving it and had glass cuts to my face and in my eyes 😱 it's defo not a nice feeling that's for sure! Glad you wore safety specs but you should of really taped down Ur trouser legs as that could of been nasty 🙄 stay safe 😉
Thanks for another , Brother !
